Name: Cypress Hecate Mara
Villain name: Friction
Age: 18
Race: human
Alias: Melissa Lackly
Powers:
Friction Manipulation- by imparting her power into any thing she chooses Cypress can manipulate, generate and otherwise control friction, the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other, ie. whether the contact causes the movement to stop (sticking the targets together) or continue.
By decreasing her skin and clothing's friction Cypress is so slippery that she is able to skid across a flat surface at great speeds her movements resembling more those of an Ice skater then a sprinter Her skin and clothing in this state can even deflect kinetic energy attacks such as bullets, swords, knives or even liquid attacks. If she is caught in a trap or stuck in a bind, Cypress can just slip away.

Inertia Manipulation- This ability allows Cypress to manipulate inertia, basically the amount of resistance matter has to a change in motion or rest, increasing, decreasing and/or maintaining it. She can increase object’s inertia, to make an immobile object immovable, or to make a mobile object unstoppable. They can also reduce an object’s inertia, so a normally powerful object, such as a train, could have its course of motion interrupted with the same effort as would be required to stop a bicycle.
Also by manipulating inertia Cypress is able to simulate super strength but only in a horizontal plane.
Example: She could once she plants her feet push a stranded Super tanker back out to sea but she can only lift 250 pounds vertically.

Drug and chemical immunity- due to her exposure Cypress is impervious to the effects of drugs an chemicals

(Limitations- to exercise her inertia control on objects other than her own person requires that Cypress herself come to a stop there by making her a stationary target.) 
Skills: Parkor, Computer programing, Hacking, Kenjutsu an Akido
Weapons: 6 Throwing knives 2 Tanto
Gear: Wayne Tech ruggedized Cell phone
Personality: Cypress is a wild child of the first order, Erratic, Unpredictable, she doesn't take responsibility for her actions and has show Amoral tendencies
Background: Born to a dead mother in the aftermath of a gulf coast hurricane. That flooded her entire town Cypress was barely alive. Her father a Swedish merchant sailor named her Cypress after the tree they found refuge in.
Rescued three days after she was born it was a miracle she survived. Her father, mother and 78 members of the community she was from all died of chemical poisoning within a week.
Now an orphan Cypress was remanded over to the family and children's services where she exhibited a high degree of intelligence but a skewed sense of morality. It all came to a head one day after being bullied by some of the older kids when she was 9 years old. That night after careful planning and preparation Cypress doused her two tormentors with salt water after using two prepared extension cords as conductors and defeating the room's breaker. The two girls where hospitalized for three weeks after the incident and require therapy to this day.

When confronted with her brutal crime Cypress did not evade her responsibility but neither did she show any remorse, in fact the foster parents reported that they'd never observed her so happy.

Her display meant that the social worker had no choice but to send her to a psychiatrist. Cypress was resistant at first but within a short period of time she seemed to respond to the treatment

Placed on mood stabilizers and forced to perform for the county mental health professional she managed to fool them into believing what she wanted them to. 

For nearly three years Cypress kept up the act of being what they wanted of her till she discovered her awakening ability. She kept up her act till she thought she was ready and escaped.

There are many rumors about what she's done over the past seven years but little evidence to confirm any of it. What is sure is that she's been highly trained in the use of her abilities by any of the darker groups out there and whether or not she works for anyone is unknown
